Mr Virgoe Buckland Supports Hillwood Golf Academy with Golf Cap Donation

Hillwood Golf Academy is grateful to Mr Virgoe Buckland, one of the Academy's private donors, for his generous donation of Hillwood-branded golf caps for our young golfers. The caps were presented to the students at Royal Cape Golf Club at a capping ceremony on 30 April 2026.

Donations like this make a meaningful difference to the daily experience of our students. A golf cap is practical on the course, helping protect young players from the sun during training and play, but a cap with the Hillwood name on it carries something deeper: a sense of pride, belonging and being properly equipped as part of the Academy.

A Generous Friend of the Academy

Virgoe Buckland, who supports the Academy from Australia, has long been a friend to Hillwood. His support strengthens our programmes, and on the day he did more than hand over a gift. He spent time with the students, and was seen helping with their swings out on the practice range.

Encouraging Confidence and Belonging

Hillwood Golf Academy serves young people from communities where access to golf and proper sporting resources is often limited. Support from friends and partners helps us create an environment where students can show up confidently, learn the game, and grow both on and off the course.

Mr Buckland's contribution is another reminder that every act of generosity helps strengthen the programme and encourages our students to keep developing their skills, discipline and love for the game.

Thank you, Mr Buckland, for your continued support and for investing in the young people of Hillwood Golf Academy.
